Summer Trade Shows

Missing the dinners and drinks at company’s expense,
missing the morning commutes in unfamiliar cities,
missing the friendships, rekindled every 6 months,
missing meeting the new exhibitors, infected with hope and enthusiasm
missing meeting the old exhibitors, calm and wise
missing meeting our many customers,
missing the evening commutes in unfamiliar cities
not missing packing all the stuff back into the ever more splintering crates.
